015// Dreaming
Romana stands alone on a silent street looking for someone. In the distance, she sees a figure standing by a street-lamp - it's who she was looking for.
"Tony!" He turns and she waves, smiling. He always makes her smile.
She starts to join him, but stops when she reaches him. There's a cold expression on his face.
"Tony? What's wrong?"
He tilts his head to the side, and places a finger along his jaw as if he were thinking. "I'm bored."
"Bored of what?"
"Bored of you. Your formality, your endless chatter about the Academy, the fact that about the only time I can get you to relax is in bed and even that's never as exciting as it should be."
"Tony?"
"What, you didn't think this was serious, did you? It was a game, but now I think I'm tired of playing."
With that, he turns and walks away, leaving her behind to join up with another woman in the shadows. A voice speaks in her mind, You didn't think someone as passionate as him would be pleased to stay with someone as cold as you. Always so formal in public. Always so concerned about propriety. What were you thinking, Lady of Time?

She starts to walk to join him and his clothing shimmers, becoming his Iron Man suit. In the distance, something approaches, something terrible, and it reaches out and smashes him, killing him.
She runs, falling to her knees and pulling him to her lap, heedless of the blood. A voice speaks in her mind, Humans, so very fragile and temporary, aren't they? What were you thinking, Lady of Time?

She starts to join him but falters slowing her steps. He's focused somewhere over her shoulder, a look of absolute joy on his face.
A woman rushes past Romana and into Tony's arms, kissing him deeply. They break and he calls out, "Romana! Can you believe it, Cat's returned! I told you about her, remember?"
"Yes, Tony, you did, but.."
"This is wonderful, we can go right back to where we were before she left. You don't mind, do you, Romana?"
"I..."
He doesn't wait for an answer and he turns, arm around Cat's waist and walks away. A voice speaks in her mind, You knew she'd come back someday, why are you so surprised? He loved her, what were you but a distraction while he waited? Really, what were you thinking, Lady of Time?
Romana stands alone on a silent street. She whispers softly, "What was I thinking?"
[ooc: LJ-cut for TL;DR. Long/short? She's feeling very insecure these days. Romana will be standing on that street for awhile, feel free to come by for a chat.]
